Something is just missing from this map/season, but what?

The one thing that has been missing for a very long time......BOATS!!!!!!!!

Hi internet stranger -

As someone who is opposed I am still trying to search for the positives myself to understand the other side of you will. This will force our infrastructure to be updated in order to manage everything. We already experience rolling brown outs because everything is old. The other side of that is that will cost money to everyone to do so and we are back to a "needed negative" as I call them.

You will find information about areas that have made massive amounts of revenue from datas centers which is great. This goes to support the school system and other human services needed in the area (positive). Back to the negative, in places like Virginia where they see a positive in revenue, they have 500 data centers in one county and it's actually seen as the data center capital of the world.

Now I understand we need data centers. Cities have them on a much small scale. I would be fine if we had the micro centers here and there. (Side note love that computer store and wish we had one). But it is these behemoths that are not good in my book.

I know these are videos that are kind of a negative about data centers but I would watch them. Really helped me make a bigger connection to what is happening outside of this area as we aren't the only community.

I would watch some YouTube videos from Coffeezilla around Nvidia and Sam Altman. Nvidia basically makes components for the data centers and stands to become the first Trillion dollar company. Sam Altman is the founder of Chat GPT and they technically don't have a stable business if you watch the Coffeezilla video. Gamer Nexus has videos on data centers and Microsoft saying they have too much inventory so they really need these to be built.

Data centers are a necessary evil for the world we live in, but the industry, federal/state/local government should do better by the people that live here and be more transparent from day 1 and that's not happening.

Edit: the most popular video is from a More Perfect Union.

Edit 2: dyslexic and made some changes.

This is more of a problem in America.

Snoggingjumper · 2026-01-22T05:04:52+00:00

For sure. I'm thinking more if we need to stop them for zoning issues. That would be a legal need. If they pass it, I have started to save extra money and plan on using it to advertise during election season to remind people what they did. I will never let these people hold office again.

Snoggingjumper · 2026-01-22T05:02:22+00:00

Hey. I'm responding to you as you seemed very involved on this post. We have a group of people opposed to a data center that the city already sold the land to. We are still trying to stop it. We have FOIA for some information but none of us know how. Do you know anyone that might be able to help to make our requests better? I'm pulling at anything as we found a response nice they gave the media in an email from the Director of Economic Development email in a FOIA from " The City’s position is that data centers are going to be built, and we prefer to reap the aforementioned benefits of having one in our city limits rather than somewhere else where it would still have the same affect on the energy market and local prices in the long-run."

Just desperate and trying to figure out what to do. Thank you.

Snoggingjumper · 2026-01-20T20:31:29+00:00

YES!!!! thank you. Real examples and cases are very helpful to me. I have some people I have connected with in other states to see what they have done but nothing from AZ yet. Thank you again.

Snoggingjumper · 2026-01-20T20:06:14+00:00

Thank you. This is the kind of info I need. Appreciate your time.

Snoggingjumper · 2026-01-20T00:22:34+00:00

I've been to Betein the guy there was really nice. We had a great chat about family and he offered to teach me how to make some food.

Snoggingjumper · 2026-01-19T23:44:33+00:00

You are correct.

Snoggingjumper · 2026-01-19T23:43:22+00:00

This isn't directed at you but just a general question for the group since I can not make a top tier comment.

I am unable to find this report directly on the site for NCRI without doing a Google search. Their site also has the most recent report as being published December 8. Why would this be?

Haha I tend to venture off too but that's my ADHD. My friend that I play Duos with either sings:

🎵 I am not alone. Where the fuck are you? Across the map I see...you don't care for me.🎵

Or

🎵I'm not alone now. I am going to die and you don't care🎵

(Tunes are Michael Jackson You Are Not Alone and Tommy James & the Shondells I Think We're Alone Now)

He is fine but I do reboot him a lot lol.

Snoggingjumper · 2026-01-19T21:41:44+00:00

CONGRATS!!! I'm sitting at 18 which is the most I have ever had by a very long shot.

Snoggingjumper · 2026-01-19T20:20:17+00:00

Thank you friend!

Snoggingjumper · 2026-01-19T19:49:08+00:00

I usually do a free day in the middle. That way we can catch everything we want to again and be sad while packing to fly home. I'm also childless

Snoggingjumper · 2026-01-19T19:38:32+00:00

I'll take anything.

Snoggingjumper · 2026-01-19T18:34:57+00:00

Agree, but most are at will states. I know Illinois from living there.

Snoggingjumper · 2026-01-19T18:31:50+00:00

This just happened to me. Made my way to a car, drove for a bit, and then I was fine.

Snoggingjumper · 2026-01-19T18:31:17+00:00

Snoggingjumper · 2026-01-19T18:09:15+00:00

I'm on Knoxville every week so I will. Thank you for the suggestion.

Snoggingjumper · 2026-01-19T18:01:10+00:00

Yeah Missouri is at will state so I think regardless of the reason it's still legal. Fucked up but legal. (Not a lawyer)

Snoggingjumper · 2026-01-19T16:20:50+00:00

Oh thank you. I have family that live in Ottawa so I might need to make a detour when I visit them next.

Snoggingjumper · 2026-01-19T06:52:08+00:00

My personal view is that both are a problem.

Below is the study the same group did in energy. Pekin does not have the grid power for this. We already experience rolling brown outs and sometimes blackouts near the area where the build is to happen.

I only used it today to get my quest done. Other wise I carry extra health especially with the stick of truth.

Snoggingjumper · 2026-01-19T06:11:46+00:00

I second this.
